UX Research

UX Research

I conduct mixed-methods research — including user interviews, usability testing, heuristic evaluations, persona development, journey mapping, and benchmarking — to uncover the needs, pain points, and workflows of patients, clinicians, and caregivers in complex healthcare contexts.

Human-Centered Design

Human-Centered Design

I translate research insights into intuitive, accessible interfaces, workflows, and educational materials that perform reliably under real conditions of care, with particular attention to health literacy, cognitive load, and inclusive design.

Community Health Education

Community Health Education

Drawing on my background in community health education and health equity, I bring evidence-based approaches to health literacy, program design, and culturally responsive communication — ensuring digital tools are not only usable but meaningful within the communities they serve.
